Mismanagement USA in Syrian issue
So with the vote of the British parliament , the participation of British forces to military action against Syria, alongside the United States, Obama is now only against the decision to be taken. For Cameron it is not just a defeat , the British executive must abide by the decision of the House of Commons , which has disavowed the intention of the British Prime Minister to attack Syria . At the White House , this decision is , in many ways unexpected , was met with disappointment : first because it is one of the first times that the greatest ally of the United States dissociates from a proposed action by Washington, which has always existed with the full agreement , second, because the support provided by Cameron was now taken for granted , because of the precipitous insurance of the head of the British government . Just Cameron , whose line has been completely discredited , it is one of the victims of the incident, which can not fail to have an impact within the British policy . But if the British Prime Minister is not doing well, now Obama is totally isolated in the will to carry out the military attack on the Assad regime . After many hesitations and uncertainties on the international political level , however, amply justified but certainly not the best conducted in the Syrian affair the evolution of the British position , which was followed by an attitude of greater caution on the part of France, the prestige of the United States comes out strongly reduced by the inability of the overall management of the whole matter . Washington has addressed the issue from the outset not learning from the experiences with Iraq and Afghanistan , continuing to play a role, as the policeman of the world , which does not seem they do not want , do not enable it to perform like before. The growing domestic public opinion , is strongly opposed to military interventions abroad and especially in the Arab world , the same opposition to Obama, who has set up the country's foreign policy on different bases and the changed conditions of the geopolitical world , are factors that has not been given due weight in tackling the problem . If a threat is not followed by a punitive military action carried out in due time and this has been justified with different theories depending on the time , an element that has devalued the role that the U.S. itself have data. The United States , then in fact , underestimated the Syrian regime considering unable to make use of Chemical Weapons ( thing already happened years before just by Assad 's father ) , thinking that would be enough U.S. threats and especially the attitude of the government U.S. was wavering in sentencing : first showed himself in favor of a rebellion , which could ensure democracy to the country , not taking into account the various forces that make up the opposition to Assad , repeating the mistake of completely evaluated, almost Manichean , already done with all the episodes of the Arab Spring , then he made it clear that almost prefer that the Damascus regime continues to govern Syria , as this could ensure a balance , albeit precarious , region, avoiding the possibility of a settlement of Islamic forces radicals . The lack of a straight line, uniform and consistent in the American position has , therefore, played in favor of Assad , Russia and even Iran, which can keep their principals strategic , because Washington's influence has not been able to exercise its pressure on allies even closer , which are divided into a series of positions for the cause unnecessary USA . The latest version to justify the attack on Syria is the threat coming from Damascus , consisting of the possession of chemical weapons , it is clear that these weapons could never be betting on U.S. cities and then the argument touches the pretext , so much remote . Rather than focus on the humanitarian issue , from which it began , the United States , does not seem to make exercise interference in the Syrian ( a first in U.S. policy ) , now use arguments to protect its national interests, which diminish its prestige diplomatic and contribute to the reduction of their importance on the international scene . Whatever the evolution of the story for the U.S. does not you will be treated to a beautiful page .
